Flaming Nemo Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Dear reefers, I have setting up the tank for 4 months already. And I decided to post up here to share with you all. Hope you all can give me your guidances and comments to maintain this tank. Hope this tank journey starts from this thread. Main Front Tank Specs: Tank type: Salted, reef with corals Size: 3ftx2ftx1.5ft Filter: Sump overflow box Equipment: Protein skimmer (deltec), Calcium reactor (deltec), Chiller (Artica), return pump, fluidizers Light: Metal Halide + Blue Artinic Light x2 Left side of tank Water Parameters Temp: 23.5 DC pH: 8.0-8.2 (hard to achieve!) tends to drop due to calcium reactor. QUESTION: HOW TO ENCOUNTER PH DROP? Ammonia: 0ppm Nitrite: 0ppm Nitrate: unknown, must be high due to diatoms growth? QUESTION: HOW TO ENCOUNTER ALGAE GROW ON ROCKS AND SANDS? ANY INVERTEBRATES TO HELP? Phosphate: Unknown Calcium: 500ppm dKH: 9 Water top up: Tap water only These are the corals in the tank for a moment Bubble Coral http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t279/et...werpotcoral.jpg Flowerpot Coral http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t279/et...CupMushroom.jpg Elephant Ear Coral?
